Definitions

  • Amyloidosis refers to a pathological condition characterized by the presence of amyloid.
  • Amyloid is a generic term referring to a group of diverse but specific intra- and extracellular protein deposits which are associated with a number of different diseases. Though diverse in their occurrence, all amyloid deposits have common morphologic properties, including that they stain with specific dyes (e.g., Congo red), and have a characteristic birefringent appearance (sometimes characterized as "red-green”) in polarized light after staining. They also share common ultrastructural features and common x-ray diffraction and infrared spectra.
  • specific dyes e.g., Congo red
  • Amyloidosis can be classified clinically as primary, secondary, familial and/or isolated. Isolated forms of amyloidosis are those that tend to involve a single organ system. Different amyloids are also characterized by the type of protein present in the deposit. For example, neurodegenerative diseases such as scrapie, bovine spongiform encephalitis, Creutzfeldt- Jakob disease and the like are characterized by the appearance and accumulation of a protease-resistant form of a prion protein (referred to as AScr or PrP-27) in the central nervous system.
  • AScr or PrP-27 protease-resistant form of a prion protein
  • Alzheimer's disease another neurodegenerative disorder, is characterized by congophilic angiopathy, neuritic plaques and neurofibrillary tangles, all of which have the characteristics of amyloids.
  • the plaque and blood vessel amyloid is formed by the beta protein.
  • Other diseases such as juvenile and adult-onset diabetes, complications of long-term hemodialysis and sequelae of long-standing inflammation or plasma cell dyscrasias are characterized by the accumulation of amyloids systemically. In each of these cases, a different amyloidogenic protein is involved in amyloid deposition.
  • Islet amyloid polypeptide is known to be capable of forming fibrils which are deposited in the pancreas of patients with Type II diabetes, forming deposits. Once these amyloid deposits have formed, there is no known therapy or treatment which significantly reduces or clears the deposits in situ.
  • This invention provides methods and compositions which are useful in the treatment of amyloidosis.
